The following return codes can be passed back to OAM from CBRUXVNL for device allocation processing:

Code

Meaning

0

Perform normal processing.

The job step or dynamic allocation fails.

4

Retry the failing operation.

Locate the requested tape volume, using the tape management system inventory or other sources, and enter it into the specific tape library in which it was previously resident when the job step was set up.

The system rereads the tape volume record for the specified tape volume. If the tape volume record exists in the TCDB and the record indicates that the volume is library-resident, the system proceeds with normal library-resident tape volume processing. If the tape volume record does not exist or the tape volume record exists but indicates that the tape volume is still shelf-resident, the CBR3646D message is issued allowing the operator to retry or cancel the job request.

8

Cancel.

The system cancels the job step or dynamic allocation.

16

Do not call the exit again.

The job step or dynamic allocation fails. The installation exit is not called again until it is reactivated.
